A Night with George by Brenda Murphy and Donna O'Connor is now being performed by O'Connor at the Times Square Arts Center. She brings home a cardboard cutout of George Clooney and talks to it about her life, her dreams, her angers and frustrations.
O'Connor is an exciting, powerful, totally convincing actress in a play filled with humor. If you are familiar with the West Belfast accent, you'll understand all of what she's saying; if not, it's tough. It's very frustrating to not understand more than half of what this dynamic actress says.
It's all well staged by director Tony Devlin and designed by Vaughn Preston. The play is part of the Irish Play Festival, and Irish people, who made up most of the audience, had a great time. I felt left out, and walked out at the interval.
